Lithograph 17: The Billie Gene Ape Gender Game
How the second in the series came to being: As I forgot to start to start the wine label project, I arrived empty ‘project’ at class. With 8 hours to spare and a grained stone. Well, haha this happened.
First half of the day, I tried to salvage the previous stone, and in the second half I decided up carry its legacy onto another rock.
A gente, I present here a new series on mindless ‘evolution’
1. No Andre in eden,
2. The Billie gene, the ape gender game...

The next session in progress: As usual, my tusche tones are as black as my soul.
Had to do a quick ‘banho sujo’ (a mixture of asphalt and aguarrás) to save it from a further reflection of my true soul, so, so black.
The resulting etch looks like I made the whole thing with black oil crayon dipped in road tar. However, some shades were recovered, the rest I’m just scratching and scraping out now... The lithography eraser works incredible on tusche. I can't believe how much I end up scratching out =/

The Billie Gene Ape Gender Game
10 editions in Hahnemühle
No André in Eden Series
This was a lot of fun to do, I thought about how we assign the roles of explorer to a man and nurturer to a woman. If that is the case, then these are two completely different sets of complete world, which led me to think - every human is complete, you do not need another gender to complete you. you can be anybody. The partner in crime is a complementary side act, some one who accompanies you on your adventure while being on their own.

The partner in crime is a complementary side act, some one who accompanies you on your adventure while being on their own.
A person can be a nurturer, and an adventurer, an explorer, a parent, a child, a sibling, a teacher, a student, a loner, an extrovert, an introvert, a leader, a follower, the sky, the earth, fire and water all on their own, and it is enough. There is no hole in the soul. You are your own soulmate. You are not incomplete, you are the whole universe.
